This soft, snuggly blanket is perfect to wrap your baby in. Blanket, hood, and border are knit in the round in one piece―no seaming, no picking up stitches. The pattern has both written and charted instructions, and includes guidelines for adapting it to any gauge or size, so you can make one for a doll, for your toddler, or even (if you’re feeling ambitious) for yourself. This also means that getting exact gauge is less important than getting a fabric you like. Pattern uses lifted increases and short row shaping; explanations for these techniques are included.

Yarn: 4 skeins Simply Cotton Worsted (three MC and one CC or 4 MC if you’re doing the border in the same colour). Blanket can also be made with other weights of yarn using the simple guidelines provided with the pattern.
